Hey so I took my camera to the beach one day and despite the great lengths I went through to keep my camera away from the water, a wave got to it and it got wet. I assumed it only got wet on the outside and didn't really look elsewhere and went ahead and turned it on. When it wouldn't turn on, I checked the battery and there was a little smoke coming out of the battery slot. Apparently some water had gotten into there so of course I freaked out because my extremely expensive camera was n

My OLYMPUS C5060 WIDE ZOOM digital camera fell in to the sea, in its pouch, but still got slightly wet. Local service agents answer was: buy a new one. How can I open the camera? I have removed all screws from the case but it will not come loose around the external flash support, I dont see any way to remove the external flash support.

Having been exposed to salt water this long they were right.There is probably a pin you need to remove with the back off holding the flash.It may have to be pulled out with needlenose pliers or it may be springloaded and need one of the ends pushed d ...

My camera (DSC-T70) got wet (shame on me). When I first turned it on, it worked fine but then it threw an error that said my battery wasn't capatible. I thought maybe I fried the battery so I bought a cheap generic one and it still threw the same error. I then thought maybe I needed to use an original Sony battery. I tried one of them and it still isn't working. It will come on for a second and the screen will show but then it throws the error and turns off. Is my camera toast??..:-(

IT'S FIXED!!!..:-) I'm not sure exactly what did it but I tried a little of everything. I tried taking the battery out while holding the power button then I tried taking a picture in that brief moment before the error would appear. I would get it to ...

The camera (option m*5 pentax) got wet (on Songkran in Thailand). Now it works again except that it seems not to be able to load the battery. If I connect the battery charger while the camea is 'off'', the blue lights come one and after a few seconds go off again. If I connect the loader with camera 'on', it says: 'processing' and then 'connecting fail!"

E:91:01 My camera got wet a couple of days ago and since then the flash symbol and the E:91:01 error message comes on whenever I switch it on. It only works when plugged into the mains (the battery will not charge). All functions apart from flash seem to be working, and it still takes pictures when plugged in.

My cybershot 12.1 megapixels touchscreen camera got a little wet from my hands and now it will not start. There is a red light when i insert the battery which blinks. Also the green light from power comes on for just a split second but it does not turn on. Is there anything I can do?

There may be still some moisture inside, remove the battery again, open any doors in the camera and put it in an airing cupboard or something similar and leave it for a couple of days. Meanwhile, have a look at your user manual, check out ...

I have a Kodak Easy Shae C913 and water got into the camera. I comes on but I think it is still wet on the inside. Is it completely damaged or can it be repaired?

Turning on a wet camera is a sure way to fry the circuits. Stop doing that!!! You should remove the card and battery, dry those compartments as best you can, and then bury the camera in a bowl of dry rice for a week. Since you've already tried turnin ...

I got my camera wet. After drying it as thoroughly

That's not the way to dry out a camera. The electronics need at least a week to dry out. You should have buried it in a bowl of dry rice and left it alone. Just turning it on while moisture is inside will short out the circuits. ...

My camera was working fine and then it gently rolled on to the rug and then it never worked right since. I got the code in the corner of the display E18 and I cannot do a darn thing with the camera now. Should I just chuck it ? ??? Its a cannon power shot A400. (When I turn it on the display light comes on and it beeps numberous times and then the E18 signal comes on and then it goes away and the camera turns off. I do not even think the shutter opens up ) The batteries are charged so what now.

The battery is fully charged. The camera comes on for about 15-20 seconds and then the message comes on the screen:Please turn camera off and then on again.' when shutting down, the lens remains out. I have taken the battery in and out several times- no change. Not dropped or wet- no reason , it just started not working. Tried checking on the driver to do update available on the website, but it shuts down. Any hope for it? Love the camera!!! until now :-(

I dropped my camera in water, the lense got moisture in it but was working right away. I had opened the inside of the camera to make sure nothing got wet. I set it out to dry. The lense is dry of moisture but the buttons wont work and the camera wants me to input the date. But, since the buttons won't work I can't, and now I can't take picutres.

Get a new camera - you will have other problem besides the obvious ones. Liquid will produce corrosive material after it drys and remain in the camera and will be difficult to remove later. ...

We cannot get the camera to come on after replacing the batteries. This happens every time we do this. We got the camera for my mother in law last year for Christmas. She has only used it a few times. She is going on a senior trip tomorrow and can't take her camera since it won't come on. What can be done about this.

I've tried removing the battery, wiping it off, putting it back in, camera also wont charge. It's never gotten wet or been exposed to extreme heat

It has problem on the lens. Lens doesn't extend when transferring pictures that's why it works. Kodak cameras are designed to automatically shut-off when the lens is struggling to go in or out.Follow step-by-step solution and repair on ww ...

I am a photographer and I got this camera for when I want to take pictures of family and not having to get out my Nikon everytime and MISS a perfect shot. I got my camera in Dec of '09 LOVED it, but in Feb of '10 it stop working! It wouldnt charge, it wouldnt come on?? I figured it was the battery, bought a new and it STILL doesnt work! Is it just the camera??? Help me please!

I'm surprised that you, a photographer who uses a Nikon, would buy a Kodak instead of a Nikon point and shoot. At any rate, the camera is obviously defective and you should take advantage of the warranty. Why, if it stopped in Feb. have you waited ti ...
